Well I bet Nicole thought it would never come. That is graduating college with her Masters degree in Industrial Business Psychology from Seattle Pacific University. It's been a long journey for her and we are all so very proud of all her accomplishments. Friday we attended the hooding ceremony and Ivy Cutting at the school.
The Ivy Cutting is an interesting ritual that the school started back in 1922 and the graduates receive a piece of the cut ivy symbolizing their ties to the school and their new journeys ahead. Hopefully I got that correct, so my apologies to anyone out there who reads this and notices any discrepancies. Please let me know and I will correct as soon as possible.
Unfortunately this was done inside the gym at the school due to the weather conditions. I know shocking rain in Washington! Well anyhow afterwards we enjoyed a lunch with her department at McCormick and Schmicks on Lake Union. It was a good lunch and we had a chance to talk with a few of her professors and classmates. The students put together a slide show of events they did through out the year. Than it was off to Qwest field for that diploma she has waited so very long for. Nicole had pretty
much her whole family there with her. Everyone lucked out because I don't think it rained at all through this ceremony. Afterwards we went out for cocktails and then attended a dinner at Purple Cafe and Wine Bar in Seattle. It was a fabulous dinner and a good time hanging out with family. Thank you again Lisa and Mark for a great time! After dinner a few of us went out to Cellers in Belltown for a few more cocktails. Cory and I got a hotel room downtown and had a babysitter for the weekend. It's definitely something we do not take for granted anymore!

Alyssa is doing great getting bigger and stronger every day. The other day she took her binkie and pulled it out of her mouth and put it back in. She did this a couple times so hopefully that wasn't just a fluke that it happened. Well we should have a good week. Father's Day is coming up on Sunday and we are planning a barbeque with some friends and than Alyssa and I are off to Longview for a few days.
